BEN'S ORIGINAL Flavored Long Grain Rice & Wild Rice, Boxed Rice, 6 OZ Box

This rice is so good! I love the flavor packet. When I make homemade chicken and rice soup this is my go to rice. I use celery, onion, bell pepper, to make a roux. Add in chicken broth, chicken, wild rice, and at the end I put in cream or half and half depending on what I have. Sometimes I take a shortcut and use the rotisserie chicken at Walmart. Goes quickly that way. Oh and I add mushrooms. In fact as soon as the heat index here in Alabama is under 105 I will make some. That is why I got the rice!

This is not the brand I ordered. I ordered Rice A Roni wild rice which is a superior product and less expensive. Walmart substituted this brand for for the Rice A Roni due to a shortage of the product I ordered. You should have sent only the brand I ordered. I will place future orders based on stock on hand so you need to show stock available. I will place orders from others stores with stock rather than get product I do not want.

I ordered Uncle Bens long grain and wild rice , thats not what I got . I got 2 boxes of Rice A Roni long grain and wild rice and it wasn't on the substitution list.

There was MAGGOTS in two different boxes bought at two different times! One box was from a week ago and the other was just bought today. It was so disgusting and horrible. I was so distraught when I saw it, I didn't even think to take a picture and just disposed of it

When I got married and started buying groceries for my own household, I started buying BEN'S. so much flavor in that little box. My neighbor had brought me 2 red bell peppers form is garden. You know when you are young you are too young to be smart sometimes. So, I had 2 uncooked Italian sausage links left over. I made the BEN'S ORIGINAL Flavored Long Grain Rice %26 Wild Rice per the directions but cooked it 5 minutes less. I cleaned out the bell the peppers and took the sausage out of the casing. I put the sausage in a mixing bowl, added some very fine chopped red onion and the rice hot off the stove. Then I added a little Velveeta cheese. I mixed it all up and stuffed the bell peppers. I had stuffing left over and just put it around the stuffed peppers in a 8x8 baking dish. I baked it for about 45 minutes at 350. It works for me. Just add your own seasonings for your family.

Try these wraps, your family will love them. Start with a roasted rotisserie chicken. Tear off all of the chicken meat and cut into large-ish pieces. Place in a mixing bowl and season very lightly with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate. Trim and cut 2-3 yellow onions into large chiffonade, and 2 jalapeno chiles, trimmed, seeds removed, and diced. Saute the onions and chiles in some olive oil in a medium sauce pan, until they are just starting to caramelize. Scrape onion/chile mixture into the bowl with the chicken, and cover. Then using the pan the onions were cooked in, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour the rice into the pan and brown lightly over medium heat. Turn off the heat and add the seasoning mix, plus some onion and garlic powder, and mix together. Add 2-1/4 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When most of the liquid has been absorbed, give the rice a stir, re-cover it and let it steam until fluffy. While the rice is cooking, wash some romaine lettuce leaves (the hearts) and a couple of tomatoes. Slice the romaine thinly, and cut the tomatoes into a small dice. Put in a covered dish and refrigerate. Next, make a sauce for the wraps. Mix together a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix with 1 cup mayonnaise, -/ 7/8 cup of milk or buttermilk, hot sauce such as Sriracha, ABC, or Frank's (enough to add a little zing), some ground Chipotle chile, onion and garlic powder. Pour sauce into a condiment squeeze bottle with a cap, and let it rest refrigerated for 30 minutes. After the rice has steamed, scrape it with a rubber spatula in with the chicken, and blend everything together. Warm burrito size flour tortillas in a large dry skillet, just enough to fold. Fill tortilla with chicken mixture (for a 3-fold wrap), cover with some romaine and tomatoes, and use the squeeze bottle to generously dress with sauce. Fold and enjoy.

I cook this rice in the oven with pork chops. An excellent easy, cheap meal. Just brown your bone in chops, place in a pan with un-cooked rice (follow instructions on packet for rice) add a can of cream of mushroom soup and bake at 350 for about 50 minutes

Ben's Long Grain %26 Wild Rice mix has been a family favorite for over 50 years! We have enjoyed it every Thanksgiving and even on an ordinary week night. The flavor is a perfect blend of herbs and seasonings, which compliments chicken, turkey and more.

Can't ask for more! Easy to prepare and cooks up to a perfect consistency. I usually need to add a little extra cook time uncovered to boil off the extra water. Make an additional box when my grandchildren are coming. It's that good : )

I've been eating Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice since I was a kid. I have no idea what garbage they're selling now but it had NO flavor. Worst product update ever
